As the other reply states, it's not completely reliable, and at least one feature has certainly bit-rotted: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.uml.devel/13556 On the other hand, it's damn fast. A UML instance boots up in a fraction of a second (compared to around 3 seconds which is the fastest I can boot an ordinary Fedora kernel on KVM). It's very close to being a viable backend for libguestfs: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-August/msg00005.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
